Heaven in the Quran

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful

Adornments, sorrow removed, no toil, no weariness
(Surah 35, verses 33-35)

They shall enter the gardens of Eden, where they shall be decked with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their dress therein will be of silk. They will say: "Praise be to Allah Who has removed all sorrow from us; Our Rabb is indeed Forgiving and appreciative of His devotees. Who has admitted us to this Eternal Home out of His bounty, wherein we neither experience any toil nor sense of any weariness."

As Gardens, in nearness to God, rivers flowing
(Surah 3, verses 15-17)

Say : "Shall I tell you of better things than these, with which the righteous will be rewarded by their Rabb? There will be gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will live forever with spouses of perfect chastity and the good pleasure of Allah. Allah is watching His servants very closely." The righteous people are those who pray: "Our Rabb! We sincerely believe in You: please forgive our sins and save us from the agony of the Hellfire;" who are steadfast, sincere, obedient, and charitable, and who pray for forgiveness in the morning time. (Surah 3, verse 198) As for those who fear their Rabb, there shall be gardens beneath which the rivers flow, they will live therein forever, this will be their welcome from Allah; and what Allah possesses is the best for righteous people.

Bliss, Garden, Fruits (Surah 69, verses 19-24)

Then he, who will be given his Book of Deeds in his right hand, will say: "Here it is, read my Book of deeds!" I knew that I would certainly face my reckoning." So he will have a life of pleasure, in a lofty garden, with clusters of fruit within his reach. We shall say to him: "Eat and drink to your hearts content; this is a reward for what you did in the days gone by."

Companions pure and holy, cool shades (Surah 4, verse 57)

As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, We shall admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow wherein they will live for ever. Therein they will have chaste spouses, and We shall provide them with cool thick shade.

Cup, Fountain of Abundance (Surah 76, verses 5-22)

The righteous shall be in paradise drinking from a cup of wine mixed with Kafoor (camphor-water), from a gushing spring at which the servants of Allah will refresh themselves, and shall be able to take out its channels from place to place at their will.

They are those who keep their vows and dread the Day of widespread terror, who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of Allah, saying: "We feed you for the sake of Allah Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks, for we dread from our Rabb’s torment of a very distressful Day." So Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and bestow on them freshness and joy, and reward them, for their steadfastness with paradise and garments of silk.

13. There they shall be reclining upon high couches; they shall feel neither the scorching heat nor the biting cold. The trees of paradise will spread their shade around them, and their fruits will hang in clusters within their easy reach. They shall be served with silver dishes, goblets of crystal, and goblets made of crystal-clear silver, filled by their attendants in due measure. And they will also be given to drink a cup of wine mixed with Zanjabil (ginger-flavored water), from a fountain, called Salsabil. They shall be attended by boys graced with eternal youth: when you see them, they would seem like sprinkled pearls. And which ever direction you will look, you will see blessings and the splendor of a great Kingdom. They (the residents of paradise) shall be arrayed in the garments of fine green silk and rich brocade, and adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Rabb will give them pure wine to drink. O believers, that’s how you will be rewarded, and your endeavors appreciated.

Final Return, Gardens of Eternity, Chaste Women
(Surah 38, verses 49-50)

This Qur’an is but a reminder. Surely the righteous shall return to an excellent resort. The Gardens of Eden, whose gates shall be wide open to receive them. They shall recline there, calling for abundant fruit and delicious drinks; and beside them there shall be bashful virgin companions of equal age. These are the things which you are being promised on the Day of Reckoning; this will be Our provision which will never finish.

Final Return, Gardens of Eternity, Chaste Women
(Surah 38, verses 49-54)

This Qur’an is but a reminder. Surely the righteous shall return to an excellent resort. The Gardens of Eden, whose gates shall be wide open to receive them. They shall recline there, calling for abundant fruit and delicious drinks; and beside them there shall be bashful virgin companions of equal age. These are the things which you are being promised on the Day of Reckoning; this will be Our provision which will never finish.

For righteous deeds (Surah 4, verses 124-126)

But the one who do righteous deeds, whether a male or a female – provided he or she is a believer – shall enter paradise and will not be harmed a speck. No one is better than a Muslim. Who has a better Deen (way of life or religion) than the one who is a Muslim (submits himself entirely) to Allah, does good to others and follows the faith of Ibrahim (Abraham) the upright one, whom Allah chose to be His friend? To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Allah encompasses everything.

Fruits, Carpets, Chaste Companions (Surah 55, verses 46- 50+)

For those who fear the time when they will have to stand before their Rabb there are

two gardens. Then, O jinn and men, which of your Rabb’s favors will both of you deny? Having shady trees with lush green branches. Then, O jinn and men, which of your Rabb’s favors will both of you deny? Each of them will be watered by two flowing springs.

Fruits, Honor and Dignity (Surah 37, verses 40- 57)

But the sincere devotees of Allah shall have familiar sustenance – fruits, and shall be honored in the gardens of delight. Reclining face to face upon soft couches, they shall be served with goblets filled at a fountain of wine, a crystal-white drink, delicious to those who drink it. It will neither dull their senses nor they will become drunk. And beside them there will be bashful, dark big beautiful eyed virgins, as if they were delicate eggs closely guarded.

Some of them will be asking questions to others. One of them will say: "I had a friend who used to ask: ‘Are you really of those who affirm (the message of Islam)? When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we ever be brought to judgement?’" It will be said: "Would you like to see him?" He will look down and see his friend in the midst of hellfire. Then he will say: "By Allah! You had almost ruined me. Had it not been for the grace of my Rabb, I should certainly have been among those who are brought there.

Fulfillment of heart’s desires (Surah 78, verses 31-37)

On that Day, the righteous will certainly achieve their Heart’s desires: beautiful gardens, vineyards; and young women of their own age, and overflowing cups; they shall hear no vanity, nor any falsehood; – a recompense from your Rabb and a gift beyond their account from the Compassionate, Who is the Rabb of the heavens, the earth and all that lies between them; before Whom no one shall be able to speak.
